let’s turn mental health literacy into everyday life skills.
What if every young person had the foundation to meet life’s challenges with resilience?
Founded by The Dorm, My Friend builds on its mission to advance mental health outcomes for young people. Through education, we can help young people build the skills and emotional literacy they need to navigate life’s challenges—before they escalate to crisis.
